about

I’m a poet living in the Catskill Mountains in New York.

I’ve been writing (journals, stories, poems, what have you) since I was little. My poems have appeared or are forthcoming in publications including American Poetry Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Bennington Review, Cave Wall, Cincinnati Review, Colorado Review, Crazyhorse, Denver Quarterly, Narrative, Ninth Letter, Pleiades, Provincetown Arts, River Styx, Salamander, The Southampton Review, Tinderbox, and Waxwing. I’ve been a resident at the Vermont Studio Center, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Soapstone, and the Ucross Foundation; I’ve also been a visiting poet at the University of Pennsylvania, LaSalle College, and the University of Northern Colorado. Keeper, my first book, won the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize from the University of Pittsburgh Press, and was published by Pitt in fall, 2013. My second book, The Thicket, was published by Pitt in November, 2021.

My last name is pronounced like Judds.
